Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 6.0

The letter addresses all three required bullet points and maintains a friendly, appropriate tone for a college friend, with the celebration idea and requested help both developed. The main limitation is recurring grammatical inaccuracy, particularly in verb forms and agreement, which occasionally disrupts clarity despite the message remaining broadly understandable.

IELTS criteria

How each score was decided

Task Achievement

6.0

The letter covers all three bullet points with a clear celebratory event, reasons for it, and a request for help with dietary arrangements, though the greeting to a group rather than one named friend and some loosely relevant details slightly reduce precision of purpose.

Coherence and Cohesion

6.0

Ideas progress in a broadly logical order with linking phrases such as 'Furthermore' and 'Moving further', but some transitions are mechanical and relationships between sentences are occasionally unclear.

Lexical Resource

6.0

Vocabulary is adequate for the informal purpose and shows some attempted range, yet noticeable errors in word choice and spelling such as 'soul purpose' and 'bachleour' reduce precision.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

5.5

A mix of simple and complex structures is attempted, but frequent errors in verb forms and agreement, such as 'I going to married' and 'it been so long', mean accuracy is limited and meaning is strained at times.
